Omega in Action

Seasonal Community Agreement

Our Commitment to You

Omega is committed to our nonprofit mission of awakening the best in the human spirit. We aim to provide a truly immersive learning experience on our beautiful 200-acre campus. Each year, we welcome Seasonal Staff and Seasonal Service Corps Members to help support Omega’s Rhinebeck New York, campus programs. We offer these Seasonal Community Members a robust educational program that includes the opportunity to live and work in community, develop professional skills, and explore their own personal growth in a welcoming environment.

Seasonal Staff work full-time hours and, in addition to the benefits listed above, will have the opportunity to earn as much as $167 per week or more, including allowances for three mostly vegetarian meals per day and furnished indoor housing with utilities.

Seasonal Service Corps Members serve for 28 hours per week, for a maximum of 13 weeks. They receive three mostly vegetarian meals per day and are provided with a campsite and shared bathroom facilities.

Your Commitment to Us

Seasonal Staff and Seasonal Service Corps Members approach everyday tasks in the spirit of compassionate service, recognizing there is much to be learned when we view our contribution as an opportunity to gain deeper understanding of ourselves and others.

Seasonal Staff work full-time hours (usually 5 days per week) and must be able to commit to being with us for at least six months of the year (between April and October).

For those wishing to join our Seasonal Community who cannot do the Seasonal Staff full-time, six-month option, Seasonal Service Corps Members join us for up to 13 weeks between May and October and offer service for 28 hours per week.

Please note that all seasonal roles at Omega require a commitment to service and flexibility, and may include evening and weekend hours as well as split shifts. Although you will be assigned to primarily one department, you may be asked to serve with other departments if there is a need. We do our best to fulfill preferences and match skilled individuals within our departments, but Omega roles are about compassionate service, which can be expressed through any tasks, regardless of department.
